Please make sure to arrangeYOUR OWN TAKE-OUT SHUTTLE VEHICLE. We recommend carpooling as parking is limited. Parking is free at each of the parks for volunteers. Parking passes will be distributed via email the week prior to the event.

** For those registered on the Barton to Carver section, Oregon River Rentals will be running shuttles from Carver to Barton between 2pm and dusk. No reservations needed. $10 per ride.

VOLUNTEER & PRE-REGISTRATION:

SAFETY:

Safety is of our utmost concern. We work hard to provide you with helpful info, safety volunteers, and professional medical response services during the day of the event – however, this information is advisory only. There is an inherent risk in boating on a river and cleaning up debris, and you assume all risks.

On-river volunteers must absolutely be a confident class II+ boater and be equipped with your own boat (seats available on boats if needed – email alix@welovecleanriver.org), paddle(s), life vest, whistle, helmet, and cellphone. Garbage scows/driftboats will be on each section of the river to help haul your collected trash out (bags will be provided for collection).

– All volunteers MUST wear a life vest on river!
– Volunteer Safety Kayak Captains will be located at each park site in the AM & will roam river to provide assistance until 3:00PM.
– American Medical Response (AMR) will be on site all day.– In the event of an emergency, dial 911. The on-site AMR will be dispatched directly when 911 is called.
– We also recommend bringing GLOVES, sunscreen, sunglasses, a light rain jacket, a warm layer, hat, fast-drying/wicking clothes, adequate river shoes, a dry bag and a first aid kit.

FOOD/DRINK:

Please eat a hearty breakfast, bring lots of snacks, and a water bottle! An amazing BBQ will be provided for FREE for volunteers after the clean up. See schedule above.

LAVATORIES:

Restrooms are available at all 5 parks. We recommend that you use one before you head down the river!
